The Steelers met with former New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw last week, but Bradshaw isn't fully healthy yet. The Steelers are expected to revisit Bradshaw's situation in a few weeks. In the meantime, they will kick the tires on one of our favorite players still available in free agency.

Stephens-Howling is an excellent special teamer who can help on returns. He is more powerful and elusive than you'd expect for his size as a third-down back, and he filled in capably when used as a starter with the Arizona Cardinals. He's a piece to the puzzle, not a potential starter.
